I wasn't aiming to be a designer from the beginning. I was an ordinary high school student studying for entrance exams. When I got home on the day of the announcement of my university pass, my relatives gathered and were in a turmoil. The usually bright mother was crying. When asked, "What's wrong?" "My father's company went bankrupt." That day was the day when heaven and hell came at once.

My father ran a construction company. After that, I had a lot of debt and I gave up going to college and started working. About half a year later, I felt suffocated at the company and felt that I was not suitable for the organization. At that time, I found an admission guide for a design vocational school in the newspaper, and since I was little, I was good at drawing, so I decided to bet on design. I worked hard for two years and saved my tuition. After graduating from a vocational school, I got a job at a design company in Osaka. The workplace was full of young people and it was a really fun day, but can I stay here and become a good designer in the future? I decided to go to Tokyo in search of a higher level environment. But the week before I went to Tokyo, I was scouted by the director of Hakuhodo. The director introduced me to a famous teacher. That was the encounter with the teacher who changed my destiny. Then the days of hard training began. No matter how I designed it, it was denied and I completely lost confidence. However, it was my pleasure to see the first-class work beside the teacher. Eventually, after the five-year training period, he decided to resign and become independent.
